The L.C. Smith shotgun is an American classic and is unquestionably one of the finest shotguns ever made. The L.C. Smith Collectors Association was formed in March 2003 to (1) stimulate and educate members and the public in their knowledge of the history and production of the L.C. Smith shotgun, (2) encourage the value of good sportsmanship to shooter and collector members and the public, (3) promote a positive, responsible use of firearms to members and the public, (4) encourage creation of a L.C. Smith museum, and (5) support the Cody Firearms Museum in utilization of the surviving L. C. Smith records.

We believe that you will enjoy exploring this website to learn more about the rich history and many grades of the L.C. Smith shotgun. It will be especially valuable if you are searching for information about the L.C. Smith you inherited from your grandfather, the one you have been shooting for many years, or the one you have just acquired or are thinking about purchasing. Please let us know (js@lcsmith.org) if you have any problems navigating through this site or if you have suggestions for additions or improvements. We are always looking for photographs for our Photo Gallery.
